REPORT: Pakistan CC prevail in dramatic fashion at European Cricket Series Vienna

Pakistan CC prevailed in spectacular fashion to win the European Cricket Series Vienna after a dramatic collapse by Salzburg in the Final.

Pakistan posted a competitive 122, powered by MVP and Player of the Tournament Bilal Zalmai’s brilliant 85 off 33 balls.

Reaching 66 inside 4 overs, Salzburg were coasting to victory, as powerful opener Abrar Bilal deposited five of the nine balls he faced for six.

At 94-3 inside 6 overs, the situation still looked mightily promising for Salzburg. However, a collapse of England 1990s proportions soon had Salzburg slipping to defeat as they lost six wickets for just five runs in 14 balls.

With the damage done, a shell-shocked Salzburg outfit closed 17 runs short in the face of a battling display in the field from Pakistan CC. At crunch time, talented slow bowlers Abdullah Akbarjan (2-6 off 2 overs) and Sikander Hayat (3-2 from 6 balls) completely turned the game on its head.

Ultimately, after finishing top of the group stage standings, Pakistan CC proved deserved European Cricket Series Vienna champions!
